You're both right.  Anssi seems to take the first poster here
literally, believing that person to actually mean plugging an ISA card
into the VESA connector, which of course, is physically impossible.
However, the VLB slot does support ISA cards.  In this respect, ISA cards
do work in VLB slots, which the first poster stated.

Don't you just love disagreements over word choice?
